Why Rako RK-PIR

Battery-powered wireless presence sensor for Rako wireless (Rakom RF) systems

Presence

Turns lights to a scene when someone is in the room, and to another scene when the room is empty.

Wireless

Sends Rakom RF commands, so it can be added without a new cable to the ceiling.

Ceiling mount

Fits a typical ceiling cut-out, so the sensor reads the room rather than a doorway.

What the Rako RK-PIR is

The Rako RK-PIR is Rako's own wireless presence sensor. For third-party PIRs, use the RAMVR interface instead; the WK-PIR is the wired-system sensor.

Where it sits in a Rako system

The RK-PIR runs in Hub managed mode: it is added in RASOFT Pro and configured on the RK-HUB web pages before installation, with a RAMPI used for pairing. Its modes can be limited to set times or to dawn and dusk. See all Rako wireless interfaces.

Ratings and limits

  • Detection area: 2.5m; Rako suggests multiple sensors for spaces of 8m or more
  • Modes: always, time range, sunlight
  • Absence detection
  • Ingress protection: IP20

Power and connection

It is powered by the supplied RK-BP 3V battery pack; replacements are 2 x AA 1.5V L91 lithium cells only. It communicates by encoded FM radio at 433.9MHz. Rako's RK-PIR instruction manual covers installation.

Fitting

Ceiling mounted in a 48-51mm cut-out. It measures 61.5 x 61.5 x 32mm, weighs 47g and operates from +2°C to +40°C.

It comes with an RK-BP pack; replace with 2 x AA L91 lithium cells only.

How big a space does one RK-PIR cover?

Rako gives a 2.5m detection area and suggests more sensors for larger spaces.

Rako app

Scenes from the keypad, and from the phone

This product sits in a Rako system. The keypad on the wall runs the room. With an RK-HUB or WK-HUB, the same scenes also run from the free Rako app.

  • Room scenes from the keypad on the wall
  • App control once an RK-HUB or WK-HUB is on the network
  • Voice, timers and holiday mode from the Hub

The Rako app is published by Rako, and needs an RK-HUB or WK-HUB with firmware 3.7.6 or later.
